“prefect for family travellers who have a car and wish to admire the wallabies”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2011

I am a solo travellers who are travel on a budge. the price is perfect, especially compare to all the other hostels.
the room was spacious, clean and bright.
they offered free shuttle bus almost everyday.
However, as a backpacker, meeting new people is fairly important and picturesque hostel like Heavitree, provides utopia and quietly atmospheres.I did enjoy feed wallabies and have supermarket and pub next door but I prefer to meet people who have some purpose as I have.
BTW, there is gas station and caravan parking lots next door as well.

“Cockroaches and spiders gallor! Including a redback spider.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2011 via mobile

Each night we had to remove about twenty roaches and lizards from the room. Also miles away from anything. Tavern was good though.

“Dirty floors and a/c not working”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

Not a great place to stay. Grubby rundown room. A/c didn't work and then ineffectual and falling apart in the second room. Kitchenette a joke as little provided. I didn't expect 5 star but did expect things to be clean and functioning

“Cheap but not too nasty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

When confronted with a choice of $80 a night and $200 at a place I have stayed at other times I decided to give the Outback Resort a go and to be honest it was quite OK. The cheesy country music at dinner was cheesy. But all in all, value for money, it was fine. Beware of the ranges that block your wireless internet connection!

“Loved feeding the rock wallabies.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Keep in mind this is a motel and not a 5 star hotel. The room was clean and big - (queen with a twin). The bathroom is small but met our needs. We did have a lizard and what I assume are jumping crickets in our room but they did not bother me and just added to the experience of our stay. The only thing I did not like is that you have to use your room key to turn on the lights and air-conditioner. When it is hot out I prefer to walk into a cool room. The staff was friendly. I would recommend you have a car if you stay there. We loved feeding the rock wallabies.
